How This Site Is Funded

Here at onlineguitarlessonsreviewed.com we pride ourselves on giving an honest opinion about the products we review - good, bad or indifferent.

Most of the time, we purchase the products anonymously so that we can test them without receiving any special treatment with the expectation of a favorable review, however, sometimes we are offered a "free trial" or temporary access at no cost while we review the product - especially if the product is new to the marketplace.  On these occasions, it is made quite clear that we will always provide an honest review and offer constructive feedback to the publishers based on our experiences.

Affiliate Links

This site originally started as a hobby, and the products we tested were bought using our own money.  The web hosting was also paid for out of our personal funds.  Nowadays, hosting for a site receiving thousands of visitors a week does not come cheap, and visitors expect a nice professional looking site that loads quickly and is free of bugs.  So to support our endeavours, the links to recommended products contain what is called an affiliate ID where one is available.  What this means is that if someone buys a product we have reviewed and recommended through our link, we receive a small commission from the publisher or their agent.  This is our only source of income and these funds go towards the cost of running the site and buying products to review.  We never recommend a product on the basis of "how much money it brings in", but if you would prefer to buy a product without a percentage going towards keeping the site going, a list of direct links can be found here.  The price you pay for the product is the same regardless of which link you use.
